There have been many learnings from this year's IPL: Sai Sudharsan

NEW DELHI: The recently concluded IPL has been a significant learning experience for young Sai Sudharsan, who discovered the importance of adapting his innings to match situations in white-ball cricket.
In IPL 2024, Sudharsan delivered his best performance yet, emerging as Gujarat Titans' highest run-scorer of the season. He accumulated 527 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 141.28, including a century and two half-centuries.
Reflecting on his season, Sudharsan credited the IPL for teaching him how to manage each innings effectively.He also emphasized that adapting to varying conditions remains his primary focus.
"There have been many learnings from this year's IPL. This was my first season where I played all the games (in a season). We have to learn how to manage a good and a bad innings. This year's IPL has taught me that," Sudharsan told PTI in an interaction on the sidelines of the TNCA Annual Day celebrations.
The young southpaw Sai Sudharsan was awarded the Bishnuram Medhi Trophy for being named the 'TNCA Cricketer of the Year'.
Sudharsan, who has represented the Men in Blue in three One-Day Internationals, has maintained commendable form since last season.
"We have been playing on and off. I also played for India A, and I feel adapting to the conditions and situation is more important, and that has always been my main focus," the youngster said.
Having amassed 1,034 runs in 25 matches at a strike rate of 139.17, Sai Sudharsan has become a crucial player for Gujarat Titans, who will be eager to retain him.
However, with the mega auction ahead of IPL 2025, it remains to be seen how the retention policies will be structured.
"We have a lot of time left for that (auction), so the thought about that can be given at the right time. Right now, I'm thinking more about my batting and more to work on the areas where I can get better, and the rest will take care of itself," he said.
